Northerntruthseeker Mini Rant - Vacation In Perspective...

Well, I have been busy taking care of a lot of personal business these last two days since my return from a much needed vacation..... It was indeed a period that I used to recharge and relax.... But now it is time to get back to putting up articles at this blog...I figured that I would lead off by doing a "mini rant" to talk about what I saw over the last two weeks....  Lets start off by talking about where I went....I decided a few months back to take my better half and my son to a place where we have been before and one that I enjoyed tremendously every time we visited... And that place was Treasure Island in Florida... Yes, Florida..... And yes, Florida in mid July!!!!OK, many may ask WHY I would venture to the formerly free nation of the United States... I will make it clear once again that I have no qualms with the American people, for many are absolutely totally unaware of where the scoundrels that run their formerly free republic are taking them down the road to ruin.... And it showed in my dealings with so many people during our time in the Tampa Bay region....We decided to return to a resort that we had been many times before, which sits right on the Gulf of Mexico.... This time around the resort was absolutely fabulous, with the only drawback being that every resort on Treasure Island is now charging an extra $20 per day "resort fee" that I found outrageous but had no choice to pay out front for our 11 day stay.....  But beyond the fleecing of my pocket upon our arrival, the entire trip was most enjoyable and we alternated our days by spending one day at the beach, with the following day spent doing activities or going to the nearby theme parks...And no, there was no problem with swimming in the Gulf of Mexico at our resort... In spite of all of the "Corexit" and other garbage thrown into the Gulf from the damage created by those massive oil spills over the last few years, the water was surprisingly very clear although salty as heck....  Heck, there was even a lot of fish swimming in the nearby waters that we observed and even a few dolphins... And not to worry, for there were no sharks in those shallow waters.... We also spent a lot of time on the beach suntanning for which I got burned the first day (not unusual for an extremely white skinned guy like me...) .... It was enjoyable to say the least...One day last week, we decided to take a trip to Sea World in Orlando just for the heck of it.... Yes, I have watched that very revealing "Blackfish" video many times that has exposed the criminality of these type of "theme parks" for their illegal capturing of Orcas and other sea creatures to use for public viewing... And yes, Sea World still has their Orcas for their shows, but now due to public outcry the entire perspective of the park is using the new theme of "conservation" and "saving endangered species" rather than abuse animals for public entertainment.... I did talk to a lot of the workers at the park to find out how much Sea World has changed, and many told me that it is now 'night and day' compared to over a decade ago in terms of their specimens and especially their Orcas... I for one am hoping that they are honest and will keep it that way!OK, I will admit... I did spend some time talking to a lot of Americans that I ran into just to find out what they actually think of their government and what their perspectives are on world events... Surprisingly, a lot are aware of the criminal activities conducted by the US, especially in their illegal wars in the Middle East.... One individual in fact that I met on the beach actually spent over a half hour talking with me about his thoughts on where the US is heading and he was indeed up to speed on not only the criminality of his own government but how much that government was subservient to the criminal state of Israel.... It did show that there is indeed hope for the US yet...... However, when we spent some time in the local bar and restaurant, the televisions in those locations were tuned into mostly US bullshit Jew spew news networks... And those networks as well as local news was focused so much on the lies of "Russia Gate" that it was nauseating at times.... Yes, this shows that most Americans are still brainwashed and have no clue about the real world outside of their own nation!We also had little problems with the food, even though all three of us are well aware of how much that American food is loaded with GMO and other poisons... We avoided as much meat and other potentially contaminated food as possible and concentrated a lot on local foods and a lot of salads.....  None of us got sick and I did my best to not overeat and gain a lot of weight.......OK, Suffice to say, the vacation was fun and very enjoyable... The only incident that we suffered through was when Tropical Storm "Emily" came right through where we were staying 4 days ago... It was an amazing experience with winds around some 40 miles per hour (65km/hour) with rain coming down in sheets... The local streets flooded during the bulk of the storm on Monday morning, but surprisingly when the storm left the area by mid afternoon the streets were already clear.... I personally have never experienced a tropical storm, let alone cannot imagine what it is like when a full fledged hurricane comes wailing through!One other point about this trip... I had absolutely no problems with the US border personnel or the TSA.... Yes, I have seen a lot of the videos and read the reports about the treatment of visitors coming into the United States, but honestly we had no problems at all.... In fact, I did talk to one TSA rep in the airport in Atlanta on our return route to Canada, and he said to me that he is well aware of how some TSA representatives act like pricks in some airports, while in others they treat passengers with some respect.... I guess we can count ourselves lucky that we had the latter......Well, it is good to be back, and I do have a lot of catching up to do.....More to comeNTS
